Patronise Made-In-Ghana goods
Goaso (B/A), June 17,
Ghanadot/GNA – Mr Stephen Afreh, Asunafo North
Municipal head of Business Advisory Centre (BAC), has
appealed to Ghanaians to patronize Made-in-Ghana goods,
especially those produced in their localities.
He said this would encourage small and medium scale
enterprises and create more job opportunities for the youth.
Mr. Afreh was addressing the close of a 10-day advanced
soap-making training course for 21 soap makers at Akrodie
organised by the Centre under the Rural Enterprise Project.
He said the BAC “intends to assist 4,500 youth and women to
benefit from the project within the four-year stipulated
period.”
Mr Afreh said there was a marked improvement in the living
conditions of persons who established their businesses after
the first programme and expressed the hope that it would
continue as long as they practised what they learnt.
“The overall aim of the rural enterprise project is to
reduce poverty and create wealth among the youth and women
through self employment in soap production, batik tie and
dye and bee keeping”, Mr. Afreh said.
